HE THINKS A SCHOOL BOY"
WROTE IT.
GLEN CRY, Pa. July Is, 1887

GLEN CITY, Pa. July l8, 1887.
GEO. f. ELwELL ESQ, DEAR SIR:
Jesse Rittenhouse brought me copy
of your paper, the COLUMBIAN, as have
not been taking your paper this sum-
msr did not read the famous sland-
er until Jesse showed it to me. The
article is headed thus, "Did Rittenhouse
Bolt?", and after the shameful letter
you state or give mention, as l recol-
lect reading in the COLUMBIAN last win
ter, that hereafter no campaign COM
munication would be published unless
the authors name would be permitted
to be signed. The communication was
sent to injure sincere and just and
honest man just for a trifing matter.
The boy was refused to teach
school which Rittenhouse, a school
director, in his judgment did know the
boy of II years was incompetent to
control, and the boy said he would de.
feat him if not (the next few words are
illegible).
Now see here, editor, how much do
you regard your promises. You said
you would not publish any communi-
cation unless the full name was given
in print, and in your editorial say as
the communication was from a gentle
man whose democracy and reliability
are unquestioned, you print it without
giving heed to your rules and promise.
The correspondent is boy of II years
old, has no vote, and you do not know
his politics, you do not know what he
will be when he gets to vote. You
have the senatorial bee 10 your bonnet.
see how you get there when you are a
candidate. But as you are the son of
an honest judge of our courts, and as
(next two words illegible) it will not
matter. An unjust act will::tell in the
time TO come. Refute it and save an
injured man.
G. p. DRIEsBAcH.
Mr.. Driesbach is in error in suppos-
ing that the charge of boiling was
made by school boy. 1t came from
a man who Is three times II years old
at least. Mr.. Rittenhouse has not
denied il.

PAPER
PLATES
AND NAPKINS

Just the thing for picnics and
private parties, neat clean and
cheap; avoids the annoyance Of
broken and lost dishes and nap
kins; no weight to carry. These
paper plates are largely used for
pie baking, and overcome the
objection some people have to
pies because the under crust is
soggy; the greatest degree of heat
will not scorch them and by
greasing them pie may be
baked on them better than on
tin or earthen ware; the under
crust will be found perfectly
hard and crisp similar to the top.
Napkins are soft and pliable as
linen and will not fade mless

If any candidate for any county of
fee this year, bolted the democratic
ticket three years ago, and supported
any republican nominee against the
regular democratic nominee, he ought
to be defeated. The party organiza-
ton cannot be maintained if men are
to be permitted to jump the traces a.
one election, and at the next be put
in responsible offices by the party they
betrayed. This would be putting a
premium on treachery, and it is not
Democracy.

Monday was the time appointed by
the Huntingdon hotel keepers to close
their places of business and theyj had
made all their arrangements to do so

Jacob Sharp, the convicted brlber,

He seemed mach crushed by the

was put on. He was taken back to
prison, and will remain there until his
removal to Sing Sing, which will take
place 10 few days.
News of a most inbuman murder
comes from Riverside, ARK. 1t seems
that man living near that place Lad
a stepson years old, whom he greatly
disiiked. He was known to treat him
most cruelty, beating him in terrible
manner, once putting one of the little
fellows eyes out while whipping him.
A few days ago he beat the child in a
horrible manner and then tied him by
the wrists to a stake in the hot sun,
without food or water, until he died.
just how long the child was there is
not known. But the cords at the
wrists had cut into the flesh and the
wounds were filed with worms. The
fiend, finding his victim was dead,
armed himself and took 10 the woods.
The child's mother seems Indifferent
over the affair.

Mormonism is a pure theocracy,

Mormonism is pure theocracy, the highest authority being vested in the president, who is elected by the entire body of the church. His authority on all questions is abso- lute and unqueslioned, and the people are taught to obey him over all other authority, political or ec. clesiastical. Next to the President is the Patriarch, the third order is that of the Twelve Apostles, the fourth order is the Seventies. and after these come the High Priests, the Bishops, ,thh Elders and Teach CTS and Deacons, the entire priest hood being two classes-the Mel chisedec and ArrOnlc.
